Jesus put it this way in Luke 19:10:
For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.
If we want to be like Jesus, then we must join Him, the Good Shepherd, on this search-and-rescue mission for these precious lost sheep.
Here are three ways you can join this mission right now:
1. Pray.
As you pray, include prayers for teenagers you know. Pray for the lost to be found and the found to join the search for their own lost friends. Never underestimate the power of praying when it comes to “seeking and saving” those who are lost.
2. Give.
The ministry I founded 31 years ago exists for one purpose, and that is this: Every teen, everywhere, hearing the Gospel from a friend. We provide free apps, tools, and training in 17 languages (and growing) so we can mobilize teenagers around the world to reach other teenagers with the Gospel. We depend on God to move in the hearts of His people to make all of this possible. To donate toward this vision, click here.
3. Go.
Why not consider volunteering with your church’s youth group or a local ministry (Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Youth For Christ, First Priority, etc.) and get in the grit of reaching, discipling, and mobilizing teenagers for Jesus? Read my free e-book, Gospelize Your Youth Ministry to get started.
Pray. Give. Go.
Let’s not stop until every last sheep is reached and rescued. Like Ahmed, let those lost sheep be the last thing on our minds before we go to sleep at night.
